Luau Description
At the beautiful Kilohana Plantation you can enjoy an evening of wonderful food and entertainment. Our tropical plantation grounds feature a great restaurant and plenty of local artists showing their “made on Kauai” crafts so there are lots of ways to immerse yourself in the Hawaiian culture.
Explore the grounds of this 60 acre tropical plantation then head for dinner at the very tasty luau buffet or take in the VIP package to enjoy a special sit down 4-course meal at the restaurant.
The show begins after dinner, for those with the VIP package or Premium package you will be given seats closest to the stage to enjoy the show. This luau is unique throughout the islands as itʻs a theatrical, storytelling experience. Get immersed in Polynesian history as the story takes you on a journey across the wide Pacific ocean in search of new islands. This story has a special connection between Tahiti and Hawaii so a lot of these two cultures are represented throughout.
